An experimenter was analysing homogenized cell lysate (containing mitochondrial + chloroplastic + cytoplasmic contents) of a plant tissue that is heavily infected with a bacterial pathogen. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) purified from the cell lysate was separated by gel electrophoresis. The band pattern observed after the electrophoresis is depicted in the figure. The correct statement about the observed band pattern is:
Options
- AI, III and V are from the plant ribosome.
- BI, III and V are from the bacterial ribosome.
- CII, III and VI are from the bacterial ribosome.
- DIV and VI are absent in plant ribosome.
Correct answer
A. I, III and V are from the plant ribosome.
